Species: Ancistrus sp. Albino Bristlenose Pleco

How many: 2

How long trying: had them for 3 months

Any successful spawns already: 1st spawn happened approx. a week ago 1/16/2012

Set up: 36g community tank

I look in the male's pleco cave every week. I always see nothing. I noticed he was in the cave more and not getting out often. I did not even know anything was goin on till i saw a fry sucking on the glass at the top! I have counted 30 fry and half inch long with no egg sac left. I know there were more, but had become food for the other inhabitants. I have moved all community fish to another tank leaving corys and the parents. I have been feeding algae wafers and brine shrimp.
